Ciao,  
When I run Anki using Linux Manjaro none of my decks are displayed on the Anki desktop but when I use the same version in either Linux Mint or Android all of the decks are displayed as normal. No error messages are displayed but the Manjaro system was updated yesterday.

Also, Help/About does not display anything but the debug info option copies successfully to the clipboard.

The debug info follows below.

Any suggestions appreciated.

It appears to be the same issue that has already been reported here:

Ciao Casartelli,  
Thank you for your response.

I searched for a similar problem to mine before posting but I must not have used the appropriate terms. I will join the discussion at the link that you sent.

I have also found that the terminal command below gets Anki working normally:

anki --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox

Same issue with the latest update in Manjaro.

@nos Thanks for the solution, now, I can use it again after several days.

Same problem displaying decks as nos reported for me on Ubuntu 22.04 after clean install of anki 2.1.54  
anki --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox  
did NOT solve the problem
